I bought a 130w solar suitcase a couple months back. I comes with a cheap CMTD A2410 controller. I've hooked it up only three times. The first two times all was well. Today I hooked it up to my boat batteries and it has gone haywire. I was going to check the on and off parameters to make sure they were where I wanted. The readings for the parameters are way to high, reading 29 - 30 volts. Cannot set below 29 and the display still has a readout after I disconnect the batteries. I'm assuming this controller is toast. My problem is that we are leaving on trip that I bought this thing for in less than two weeks.
Can I reset this thing or do I need to buy a new controller? If I need to buy recommendations please.
As always, thanks for your help.
First question is if the boat is 24v, did you let the controller see the 24v before you connected the controller to the array?
Could be other issues, but start there for now.
